Statistically Speaking: Friday Five

In Week 4, the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) host the New York Jets (1-2) to conclude a three-game home stand on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m. EDT. Here are five stats surrounding Sunday’s matchup:

1. Resilient Responders: In games played immediately following a loss under Head Coach Doug Marrone (since Dec. 19, 2016), the Jaguars are 7-1 with a +128-point differential (including the postseason). The Jaguars are 3-0 in home games played following a loss during Marrone’s tenure. In 2017, Jacksonville responded with a 44-7 win against Baltimore in Week 3 after its first loss of the season.

2. First Quarter Finale: Head Coach Doug Marrone divides Jacksonville’s schedule in to four quarters. Sunday’s matchup with the Jets represents the team’s final game of the first quarter in 2018, and a win on Sunday would allow the Jaguars to win the quarter after starting 2-1. With a victory, Jacksonville would win three games in September for the first time since 2004 and begin the season 3-1 for the first time since 2007.

3. Campbell’s Chunky Sacks: Jaguars defensive captain and 2017 first-team All-Pro selection DL Calais Campbell posted 2.0 sacks against the Titans in Week 3. It was Campbell’s fifth multi-sack game since signing with Jacksonville in 2017, and he became the first Jaguar to post at least 2.0 sacks in a game in 2018. The 11th-year defensive lineman has registered 7.5 sacks in his last six September games entering Sunday.

4. TD Differential: Jacksonville’s three TDs allowed through Week 3 are the fewest in the NFL and the fewest the Jaguars have allowed through three games in a season since 2004 (2). Since 2017, Jacksonville has allowed the fewest TDs (32) in the NFL, while scoring the most defensive TDs (8).

5. Busy at the Bank: Sunday marks the first time the Jaguars have played a game on the same day that Daily’s Place, the Jaguars state-of-the-art 5,500 seat amphitheater and indoor practice facility, hosts a concert. Country singer Darius Rucker will perform at Daily’s Place at 7:30 p.m. The multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning artist will be joined in support by Russell Dickerson.
